How Do Dental Implants Work?
A dental implant is an artificial root which can be used to replace the natural root of your missing teeth. A small titanium post is implanted directly under your gum and into the jaw bone. Titanium has unique, bio-compatible properties, so it fuses permanently with your jaw bone.
Then, a dental restoration like a dental crown (prosthetic tooth) can be attached to the implant. Multiple implants can even be used to support dental bridges or dentures, restoring your entire smile.

Am I a Good Candidate For Dental Implants?
This depends on your age and overall health, as well as the strength and quality of your jaw bone. You must have good overall oral health, and be free of issues like tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease. Your jaw also must have enough bone to support an implant.
The team at Anderson & Zentz Dental will conduct a thorough examination of your health and dental history, and help you understand if you are a good candidate for dental implants in Kennewick.

What Are The Benefits Of Dental Implants?
Why bother with dental implants from Anderson & Zentz Dental? Here are just a few reasons:

• Permanent results — Dental implants can often last 20+ years. Most patients will keep their implants for the rest of their lives.
• No moving or shifting while chewing — Feel secure when your teeth or dentures are locked into place using Dental implants.
• No special care required. Simply brush and floss normally, and see Anderson & Zentz Dental for oral exams and teeth cleanings. That’s it!
